Linking tickets is possible in different ways and is displayed in the Links ticket extension. Depending on the permissions of a resource member or dispatcher, they can link tickets by bundling, free linking or ITIL linking.

The Direct Linking group displays tickets that have been linked by a resource member. New links are created by users with the allowed ticket action Link Ticket.
After clicking on the +
